Hi I hope this is the right mailing list to ask the following:
I've realized that in GDAL 1.9.2 the "towgs84" parameters of the Swiss "CH1903" GCS (EPSG:4149) appear incorrectly. According to [1], they should be 674.374,15.056,405.346,,,, instead of 674.4,15.1,405.3,,,, It seems that the origin of these rounded values is the EPSG database. In order to override them, I had to add the following line to the gcs.override.csv file: 4149,CH1903,6149,CH1903,6149,9122,7004,8901,1,0,6422,1766,1,9603,674.374,15.056,405.346,,,, The same (almost same) line used to be included in the gcs.override.csv file until GDAL 1.7.3: [2] Would it be possible to re-include this override line into the gcs.override.csv?
